And the work of defining the experimental scenarios with the different simulators and the respective interdependencies is well under way. Some highlevel expert groups have been set up too, external to the project partners but interested and willing to follow the project’s work by providing their advice and their contribution of knowledge and skills. Among the various activities, relationships have also been established with other projects dealing with the same subject.
